We derive a distance of \(D=4.52 \pm 0.03\)  kpc to 47 Tuc (NGC 104). For 47 Tuc, both literature distances and kinematic distances have small formal errors and are fully consistent with each other (see Fig. REF ).
Our mean distance also agrees very well with the value of \(D=4.53 \pm 0.06\)  kpc that [1]} determined from the Gaia EDR3 parallaxes,
correcting for the small scale angular covariances in the Gaia data by comparing the parallaxes of 47 Tuc stars with those of background SMC stars.
It also agrees very well with the distance of \(D=4.45 \pm 0.12\)  kpc that [2]} derived with the same method
from Gaia DR2 data as well as the distance of \(D=4.53 \pm 0.05\)  kpc that [3]} found from the analysis of two detached eclipsing binaries in the cluster.
The distance to 47 Tuc therefore seems to be established with an accuracy of better than 1%.
